NewsNationChris Cuomo begins with a St. Patrick’s Day surprise. The director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, quit over the Iran war and says he believes President Trump was led into the conflict by Israel. Kent’s exit is seen by some as the widening of a divide in the MAGA movement. Will others follow Kent out of the White House? Conservative radio host Ben Ferguson debates the former chief of staff for the Homeland Security Department in Trump’s first administration, Miles Taylor. Israel killed two top defense figures in Tehran in its continued assault on Iranian leadership. Those successes come as Trump spoke out against his NATO allies who have not joined his proposed coalition to protect the Strait of Hormuz, going as far to say he might pull the U.S. out of NATO. So, can and should the U.S. take on Iran with only Israel as a partner? Former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates, and the John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, discuss. Then, Stephen A. Smith joins “CUOMO” and sounds off on everything from President Trump claiming victory over Iran to the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the impact inflation will have on the midterm elections in November.
